NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - ODP 980 Holocene Benthic Foraminifera Isotope Data
This archived Paleoclimatology Study is available from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), under the World Data Service (WDS) for Paleoclimatology. The associated NCEI study type is Paleoceanography. The data include parameters of paleoceanography with a geographic location of North Atlantic Ocean. The time period coverage is from 9632 to 1151 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.

ABSTRACT SUPPLIED BY ORIGINATOR: The conversion of surface water to deep water in the North Atlantic results in the release of heat from the ocean to the atmosphere, which may have amplified millennial-scale climate variability during glacial times and could even have contributed to the past 11,700 years of relatively mild climate (known as the Holocene epoch). Here we investigate changes in the carbon-isotope composition of benthic foraminifera throughout the Holocene and find that deep-water production varied on a centennial-millennial timescale. These variations may be linked to surface and atmospheric events that hint at a contribution to climate change over this period.
